Rosberg who won the Melbourne Grand Prix two weeks ago looked aggressive and at the same time more confident. In the first practice season, it was again the Mercedes driver- Lewis Hamilton who clinched the first stop, followed by Kimi Raikkonen and Nico Rosberg. The interesting thing to note is in both the practice races Mercedes topped with its two different drivers while in both the races Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari came second.
While Force India Mercedes driver Nico Hulkenberg finished 10th and 8th in second and first practice races respectively. The main race is scheduled on 30th March, Sunday at Sepang International Circuit.
